As a test I added one tonight 09/17 to the cart and it was still available.

I suspect you may have missed that "in store only" there is an extra $100 off, so $899, while supplies last. Most stores are now sold out.

Well you’re not going to close the trunk lid with the long boxes in there! My truck bed is only 5 1/2 foot long but they could not lay flat in the bed with out the tailgate being down.

There's a Costco ~20mins each way from my work, they were the last Costco within 40mins of my normal driving routes that had any QuickJacks in stock (had 6, surprisingly). So during my lunch break I swung by and got one.

For those who thought you couldn't fit this in a Corvette, let alone a Z06/FRC, YOU CAN!! Would be easier with the passenger seat removed but it fits. Also right after the pics I put my sunshade between the box corner and passenger seat.

So now I have to know, did you go in from the trunk or the door? I’m betting on the door. I would not have attempted either one but I had options, with a truck and a trailer if necessary. Good job!

That's why I wrote $999 still a good deal when you have it shipped to your home.

Yep, went through the door. Wasn't a problem with the window down. But then again, I'm 6' 3" so longer reach helps to wrangle those boxes, and I lift weights so the weight wasn't an issue.
Probably should point out I also have a 2001 Audi S4 Avant (wagon), but I've had it down for service for a couple months now. I'm wondering if I could have even fit the QuickJack 74" long boxes in that car...

Buy online.. still a good deal at 999.00 I use it all the time. One thing to consider is if you have a truck also. I had to buy the extension beams for my truck.

Got my hydraulic fluid today and filled the tank, hooked up the hoses and “wa-la” up it went.

In my case, using my poly jacking pucks, running 18”’s all around on stock suspension settings, I couldn’t get the 3” lifting blocks in being about a 1/4” too much so I’m using the 2” blocks which worked fine.
